ming thence across the river in southwesterly di
rection and crossing the main road south Of the
river few hundred yards south of the South Side
Hotel, and following up the river bottom in a
southwestly direction. The objective point is not

rods on the line of the survey. The surveyors are
following line that will make an easy grade 1t

railroad intend building in this part of Kansas,
